M60i is getting S series engine? Interesting. Following Mercedes model.

Very weird. I thought S motors were for real M models only? I guess not anymore.

hksr · 03-25-2022, 01:27 PM

So is the M60i gonna be a 600hp SUV then? X5M to be 700hp???

B///MWGuy · 03-25-2022, 01:36 PM

I hope there is a battery capacity increase as well for 50e...
AND faster charger support.

Di3s3l_Power · 03-25-2022, 01:37 PM

I wonder what kind of price jump will 45e to 50e will be
10% ??

Germanauto · 03-25-2022, 01:46 PM

Do they plan to F up the face of this car too?

kolosy · 03-25-2022, 01:58 PM

if the S-series motor thing is true, that's a kick in the pants for anyone with a '22 (hi!). an HP bump is one thing (even a material one), but going to a full M engine seems out of character and dilutive to both the M brand and anyone who didn't wait for the LCI

Highly unlikely that it is not true. M Performance vehicles are part of BMW M so dilution isn't really a problem. Many other things separate M Performance from M cars. As far as those who didn't wait for the LCI, that is just the way things happen. If one constantly waits for the next thing they will never get it.

TGTBTU · 03-25-2022, 02:06 PM

Other than the HIFI and deleted fog lights, I am happy with my '22.

Style-wise, I think it's the best looking SUV on the market and delighted to have the "last" year of the current vehicle.

It is an M. It's basically replacing the current X5M, at least spec-wise. Just as confused as you though, tbh.

Perhaps is the last days of ICE engines and BMW is giving them

Not at all. The X5M is getting its LCI next year also:

- LCI in 04/23.
- In production until 07/26 (G05, F95) and 03/27 (G06, F96)
- F95/F96 X5M/X6M LCI is moving to S68
- Getting renamed to X5/X6 M Competition (no more Comp option - just one version remains, like we've seen with other M model refreshes).
- The official output of the gasoline unit will remain at 600hp but since this is a mild hybrid we should expect a small bump in the actual performance.

Right, once the LCI is introduced. I mean the M60 is basically the same as a current X5M, at least performance and price-wise. It's a little odd seeing an S motor in there, but I've seen crazier things…

M60i and X5M will use the same engine at different levels of tune. The output of the engine itself is rated at the same level as the engines it replaces. However, the complete powertrain will be supplemented by a mild hybrid system that will increase the actual real life performance.

I can't fully guarantee that but I'll be really surprised if it doesn't happen.

Not really but not worth arguing over it. There is a lot more to an X5M than the engine.

How else do they expect you to buy them other than by increasing the performance figures astronomically

440i6MT · 03-25-2022, 03:02 PM

Honestly though, wow! This is one of the largest LCI updates to a model in BMW history

So what's the real difference between an M60i, X6M, & it's Comp version now?

Yeah I agree. Mercedes' started doing this with their 4.0 AMG motors. They were shared with regular V8 SUV's, just different tune. Cheaper in the long run, especially since V8 days are numbered.
